Gemma Atkinson shares son Thiago's milestone that gives fans 'goosebumps'


Gemma Atkinson has shared an adorable video of her son Thiago's marking a huge milestone – and it has delighted her fans.

The mum of two, who recently proudly showed off her C-section scar, brought the tot into her garden and showed him walking around barefooted in the grass while holding his mummy's hand. The little cutie completes a full circle before Gemma gently lets go of his hand and he goes off on his own for a several steps.

She can't hide her delight as she sweeps Thiago up into her arms and gives him a big cuddle to show him just how proud she is of him. But he doesn't seem to have time for that as he is raring to get back on his feet and get going straight away.

Gemma, who shares Thiago, 23 months, and four-year-old daughter Mia with Strictly Come Dancing star Gorka Marquez, wrote in the caption: "Exploring in the garden. He definitely walked on his own didn't he?! I keep watching it back but he did!"

The former Emmerdale actress and Hits radio DJ got plenty of replies from her celebrity pals including radio and TV presenter Mike Toolan who wrote: "He deffo did!! Way to go Tio. Get him to do split squats now."

While Gorka's Strictly colleague Neil Jones joked: "That's how @gorka_mrquez walks after leg day."

And former Big Brother winner Kate Lawler posted: "Your reaction to this is everything."
